THE NORDSTROM ANNIVERSARY SALE!

It seems like back to fall (i.e. school) shopping for adults is starting earlier and earlier each year. Since the kids are buying their supplies in July now (the time I buy my office supplies), we have to start thinking of our own fall wardrobe, because September is coming!!!

Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is from now until August 6th. Here are 50 of my favorites (plus don’t forget the Spanx).

Since I am redecorating my home, I wanted to come up with a theme that would make me happy. So I decided to make my space joyful, serene and calm. The bedroom is the spot where I add a little glamour with crystal chandeliers and a bed you don’t want to get out of.

I basically sleep in my closet. That is how I describe my bedroom because my closet can’t hold my wardrobe, so the prized items come out of the closet and become part of the decor. Color is the key to creating a gorgeous place to sleep at night. Use soft colors, neutrals, lilacs or blues to create a calm space, then add ONE bright color like pink (see the Oliver Gal print) to make you smile in the morning.

My ombré wall in three shades of blue plus my oversized Chanel Oliver Gal painting in pink makes me smile every single morning, because it is so calm and beautiful to look at each day. You should always decorate in a way that will make you smile before you start your day.

Keep in mind that less is better. Don’t overdo it. Keep it simple. Instead of an art wall, consider buying one oversized piece of artwork. It’s less clutter.
